Quick question > Is the iPhone OS designed for multitasking?
For example in my previous Symbian phone, I can run the GPS in the background while typing an sms and have the gmail symbian app checking my mail as well, and I can switch between all 3 apps without closing either.
I can't figure out how to do that with my iPhone though. Like if I have fring running, and I want to go to check my Facebook, it seems like Fring closes and disconnects me from all my IM logins.
Also I need to just say that 1) the battery life is bad, and 2) the position of the speakers is too easy to totally block with one finger when holding the phone in landscape. Otherwise, loving my iPhone so far & no regrets for the price paid.
that is apple's policy tentatively (though it might be subjected to changes this upcoming OS 3.0 - again fueling speculations) of not allowing apps to run at the background.For example in my previous Symbian phone, I can run the GPS in the background while typing an sms and have the gmail symbian app checking my mail as well, and I can switch between all 3 apps without closing either.

however if your unit is jailbroken, may i suggest this or something relevant.
